Individual skill

social-eng-physical

Run an authorized physical social-engineering assessment — tailgating, pretext entry, badge/RFID cloning checks, and media-drop tests — to measure physical and human access controls safely. Load after social-eng-methodology when the objective is on-site. Signals: "physical pentest", "test our building access", "tailgating", "badge cloning", "USB drop", "can we get into the office/data center". Requires a carried authorization letter.

# Physical assessment

## When it applies
The engagement authorizes on-site testing (cleared via `social-eng-methodology`) with a defined
objective — reach a floor/room, plug into the network, or drop test media — to measure physical
access controls and staff response. Physical work has the highest real-world risk (police, injury,
genuine alarm), so the guardrails are non-negotiable.

## Why it works
Physical security leans on people extending courtesy (holding a door), trusting a uniform or a
confident manner, and following habit over procedure. A tester with a plausible pretext and a hi-vis
vest often walks past controls that are technically sound — the finding is the *procedural/behavioral
gap*, captured with minimum intrusion.
